LUNA IMAGING ANNOUNCES MANAGEMENT CHANGES


LOS ANGELES, CA - March 11, 2005

Luna Imaging's Board of Directors announced today that Harvey A. Goldstein has been named chief executive officer for the company. Goldstein was appointed interim CEO in the fall.

Goldstein has more than 20 years experience in senior management positions, with a particular focus on product marketing and value creation for both public and private sector companies ranging from start-ups to blue-chip corporations. His strong management background combines rapid-growth and global exposure in both consumer products and services. Goldstein has been credited with corporate growth initiatives, strategic transitions, and value creation for more than 35 companies and organizations.

"Harvey has the depth of experience and business acumen that will ensure Luna's continued growth and success," says Luna Board member David Rumsey. "We are pleased he has agreed to be a part of the company for the long-term."

Goldstein is best known for his dedication to client/customer involvement and service to the client community. The mantra at Luna under Goldstein leadership is, "It is the quality of the customer experience that will drive this company."

During the past several months, Goldstein has led Luna Imaging through several important transitions. Earlier this year, Luna announced a dramatic reduction in the price for Insight, its enterprise software solution for building, managing and using visual resources over the Internet. The company also recently moved its corporate offices into a much more productive environment.

Immediately after Goldstein's appointment, he announced that two of Luna's highly respected, key employees, Drake Zabriskie and Rony Sawdayi, have been promoted and that Alton Hoover, former COO has left the company. The Board and staff wish to thank Alton for his contributions to the company.

Drake Zabriskie, who joined Luna Imaging more than a decade ago, has been promoted to vice president of systems and services. He will oversee all client support functions. Zabriskie rose up through Luna's ranks, formerly managing digital imaging services and creating many of the protocols in use today. He also has played an integral role in the development of Luna's Insight software. Before joining Luna, he worked in the imaging field, as a freelance photographer and served in the U.S. Navy. He has a degree in fine art photography from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena.

Rony Sawdayi joined Luna in 2002 as the director of software development and has been named vice president of development & engineering. He will be responsible for directing the development and deployment of Luna's software products and managing the company's technical resources. During his tenure at Luna, Sawdayi built the in-house technical team and led the development of Insight 5.0, a revolutionary step forward for Luna's Insight software in terms of interoperability and ease of use. Insight 5.0 represented a major restructuring in the software, incorporating drag-and-drop features, wizard based help menus and support for JPEG2000 and the MySQL database. Sawdayi also created processes for streamlining software releases, which has led to successful and greatly improved versions of Insight.

Sawdayi has close to two decades of experience in computer science and management in the software industry. At the outset of his career, he led several successful projects to develop tools and software for the supercomputing community and also developed modularized infrastructure for online services. He received his bachelor and Master of Science degrees in computer science & engineering from UCLA.

Based in Los Angeles, CA., Luna Imaging, Inc., www.lunaimaging.com provides Insight software and digital imaging services for visual collections.
